It's busy alright. :) B&W works for this type of photo, gives it an old-timey feel. My only gripe is the background, it takes away some of that ole-timey feel. 6
7 - Good idea. Toning works well. Criticism; in a shot like this the symmetry needs to be spot on in my opinion, and it seems that this needs a slightly tighter crop and possibly a nudge rotation up on the left. A little more 'definition' in the tools, etc, may also have made this beter in my opinion. Not sure on the frame, but think it does 'add to the feel' in this shot.
